NovelStartChapter 715 Casper just sat there, eyes narrowed, watching her without uttering a word.
Her eyes were red with urgency, and she blurted out, "Is Ms. Eliza... did she choke or something? I did all I could, don't hold it against me, please. In that moment, saving her life was all I could think of." Even though Eliza was right there in the room, she heard every word Kate said loud and clear.

Casper paused briefly before stepping aside from the door. "Con in, let's hear it." As Kate walked past Casper, she made a show of sneezing. The room was cozy and warm, yet she pulled her coat tighter around herself, playing up her fragility.
"Ms. Eliza... oh, I mean, Mrs. Welton, I'm so relieved to see you're okay. My boat went out of control and crashed into yours, I was terrified, and I felt so guilty. I'm just glad you're alright." Eliza's lips curved into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Kate, you've got quite the acting chops, don't you? Quite the performance." "What are you implying, Mrs. Welton?" Kate put on a look of hurt and disbelief, as if her good intentions were being dismissed. "My boat went haywire, I was worried sick about you, and jumped in to help. What did I do wrong? How am I acting?" Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, all for Casper to witness.

I was genuine. Is this how you treat the person who saved your life? It's just cold." "A savior, huh? That's a stretch. Do you think I'm blind?" Casper's expression darkened, ready to toss her out any second. Eliza let out a mocking laugh.
Kate kept on bragging about her so-called heroics, as if they were fools who'd believe her.
"You rammed intofirst, then 'saved' me, and now you claim hero status? Besides, I can swim. Didn't need your help," Eliza said with a cold disdain, eyeing the dramene woman before her. "Not only are we not grateful, but we're also calling the cops to hold you accountable for your reckless behavior." "Eliza, you Kate's attempt at playing the victim backfired, leaving her humiliated. "I saved you, and you're calling the police? You're being ungrateful, karma will catch up with you." "We'll see whose karma comes first," Eliza shrugged nonchalantly.
